Brief Introduction
Maybe all you need to know to make better buys, make your pictures warm or cool, create distance & mix better colors.Description
This is the only course you will ever need to help you get to grips with your watercolor painting, how the colours work, the mixing, matching and how to get the most out of them for your painting projects.
The subject of paint colours is a massive subject and this course does not cover everything, but here I have condensed and simplified the subject to give you a good understanding and a helpful basis to really get to grips with your watercolor paints.
I have deliberately kept it simple and where posssible, chosen colours which you should all have in your collection.
We will look at:
The history of colours.
What their codes mean.
Primary, secondary and tiertary colors.
Make a colour wheel.
Complimentary colours.
Cool and Warm colors.
Chemical colour families
Mixing your own greys and darks.
Take your time going through the lectures, experiment with what you have and start to make charts and samples to create your own reference book. Most of all enjoy playing as you discover what you can do with these magical colours.
Lots of love Nicola
